and one more: what is "ystairs" purpose? Yellow stairs, just a "down" in game, but you can't descend.

They're a leftover from the times where I wanted to have dungeon branches. Red stairs would go to special levels, while yellow stairs would change branch.

I was also wondering if you can re-name klasses. Thank you in advance.
A bit late to the party regarding that, but I just found that you could rename klasses using :

klasses[player.klass].name = "name" -- where player.klass is currently used klass
or replace [player.klass] by ["marine"] ["scout"] ["technician"] respectively.
Doesn't apply until the mod is loaded obviously.

Thanks for that, SPTX. This thread is proving to be quite the information source! And Kornel, would it still be possible to implement branches in a mod?

I guess you could hack that in. Just keep the information on which stairs the player took in player custom properties, and make the generator react accordingly.

Is there a way to prevent an item from spawning or replacing it in special maps?

Interrogative: what are you trying to do exactly?

...well, I see 3 ways:
a) change weights. If you change weight for some item to 0, it never spawn until you direct place that on map
b) for special levels - reusing existent: may be try iterate all items on map and delete/replace unwanted item? If it is not a reward from Agony Elemental or Arena Master but just ordinary item on level like envirosuit or large med-pack. At OnEnter event
c) in documentation I see a level.OnCreate(being/item) event. Looks like place to control everything including special rewards like sculls-Arena staff-lava element ?
